We evaluated the BOD’s operations for the first time in November 2022 with the aim of improving governance through efficient operation of the BOD and its subcommittees. The BOD Secretariat conducts operational evaluations of external directors using an evaluation table designed with five-point scale questionnaire and subjective questions. The evaluation is performed annually to assess the appropriateness, fidelity, sufficiency, and effectiveness of the following: composition and independence of the BOD, the operation of the BOD and its Committees, and the roles and responsibilities of the BOD. The result of the evaluation are discussed through the BOD and disclosed annually on the website as well as in the annual report and the sustainability report.
